An antebellum landmark built in the early 1850s, the Isaac Jenkins Mikell house in Charleston, South Carolina, is owned by Patricia Altschul.

To soften the wood floor of the apple-green double drawing room, Mario Buatta took a Stark carpet from Altschul’s former Long Island, New York, estate and cut it in half, dividing it between the spaces. A Lee Jofa floral upholsters several armchairs and the love seat, and a Colefax and Fowler check covers the French bergère.

Antique silhouettes hang in the stair hall, which is furnished with a borne covered in a Brunschwig & Fils chenille; the lantern is 19th-century Gothic Revival, the stair runner is by Stark, and Haleh Atabeigi painted the floor.

As seen from the entrance hall, a Regency mirror from Mallett is mounted in the stair hall, above an 18th-century table from Florian Papp.

Smoochie, a boxer, and Monty, a Lagotto Romagnolo, pause in the kitchen; the table is from Ann-Morris.

In the cherry-red library, a chinoiserie fabric was used for curtains and upholstery; the gilded 18th-century mirror, from Gracie, once hung in Scotland’s Keir House, the tiger-stripe velvet is by Brunschwig & Fils, and the ocelot-spot carpet is by Stark.

19th-century canopy bed dressed with a Colefax and Fowler floral dominates a guest room; the bed linens are by D. Porthault, and the carpet is by Stark.

In the master bath, the toilet is concealed in a tall chinoiserie cabinet; a Manuel Canovas print covers the slipper chair at left, a Brunschwig & Fils fabric was used on the chair at right, and the garden stool is from John Rosselli Antiques.
